If you're going to be celebrating your Thanksgiving holiday anywhere near Indianapolis this year, you have one more thing to be thankful for...an awesome Star Trek convention!

That's right! It's that time again, and Starbase Indy is having their yearly convention just in time to celebrate the holiday twice. The convention starts on Friday November 29th and spans the whole weekend. They have a bunch of guests this year, including three big names from Star Trek. Rene Auberjonois (Odo), Armin Shimerman (Quark), and Suzie Plakson (Worf's mate K'Ehelyr) will be guests this year, along with several actors from Stargate SG1. We love the big DS9 presence, considering that it's the show's 20th anniversary, this year!CONTINUE READING >>

Not only is sending a mystery-solving spacecraft to Mars super cool, but NASA just managed to add a bigger cool factor by having Star Trek: The Next Generation's LeVar Burton be their spokesperson for their new PSA.

“NASA is returning to Mars. Why? Well, to help solve one of the big Martian mysteries. Where did all of that Mars water go?", Burton says as he opens the video.

It may not be the U.S.S. Enterprise, but the new MAVEN spacecraft and mission sounds incredibly exciting, none the less. Be sure to check out NASA's video, here. And you can find more information about the MAVEN mission, here.

In June we reported on the premiere episode of the new fan series, "Star Trek Continues", and we're happy to report now that they are on their way to making three brand new episodes, with your help. They have recently launched a KirkKickstartercampaign that will allow them to bring these new episodes right to your very own living room...er, computer.

This fan series is pretty darned cool! When I watched the first episode, it felt so much like an actual TOS episode that I kept forgetting that it wasn't. We're super excited to hear that there are three new episodes on the horizon...and we can't wait to see them! Go to their Kickstarter page, and MAKE IT SO!!CONTINUE READING >>
